9. write the chemical equation for the following word equations. include symbols for physical states in the equation. a. solid zinc sulfide + oxygen gas -> solid zinc oxide + sulfur dioxide gas b. aqueous hydrochloric acid + aqueous barium hydroxide -> aqueous barium chloride + water

Read the chemical equation. 2c2h2 + 5o2 → 4co2 + 2h2o which of the following statements would be correct if one mole of c2h2 was used in this reaction? one mole of oxygen was used in this reaction. five moles of oxygen were used in this reaction. four moles of carbon dioxide were produced from this reaction. two moles of carbon dioxide were produced from this reaction.

A0.10 m aqueous solution of sodium sulfate is a better conductor of electricity than a 0.10 m aqueous solution of sodium chloride. which of the following best explains this observation? (a) sodium sulfate is more soluble in water than sodium chloride. (b) sodium sulfate has a higher molar mass than sodium chloride. (c) to prepare a given volume of 0.10 m solution, the mass of sodium sulfate needed is more than twice the mass of sodium chloride needed. (d) more moles of ions are present in a given volume of 0.10 m sodium sulfate than in the same volume of 0.10 m sodium chloride. (e) the degree of dissociation of sodium sulfate in solution is significantly greater than that of sodium chloride.
